My Home Hero #01 — “I AM A VIOLENT SERIAL KILLER!”

April 2nd, 2023

 

I DO ALL THE CRIMES! EVERY VIOLENT CRIME!

Impressions:

It's hard to take the writing seriously when the antagonists are absolute lunatics, screaming at the top of their lungs in the middle of the street about how much they beat their girlfriends, their names, their jobs, and their locations. And then they're on the phone with their buddy, reciting their entire evil plan and how many other murders they've committed at a yell in the middle of the day. Oh, and did that rouse someone's suspicion? Well, we mug everybody in the middle of the street, beat them up, and strip them naked while announcing that we're criminals and this is what criminals do. It's not exactly subtle. 

I'm also not a big mystery person. Law and Order on eternal re-run as background noise while doing classwork is about the extent. But I'm fairly certain that it takes more than an hour or two to clean up brain matter and blood splattered all over a living room. Also, the smell of a mangled corpse… not really something you can simply drop into an adjacent room and call it good. It has quite a few suspension of disbelief issues getting in the way of the writing. Also, the absolute lack of a budget probably isn't helping matters either, even though it's not doing much that would call for anything too intensive, but I'm fairly certain that when Walter White committed his first murder, it wasn't shown, then flashbacked to, then shown in technicolor to stay on the censors' good side. Or, I don't know. Maybe he did. I don't really enjoy these kinds of shows, and the slow pacing/ridiculous criminal scum didn't win me over.

5 Shouts From the Peanut Gallery

    Mama is down. This man provided the least amount of explanation possible for why he’s standing over a dead body, and she’s like, “Looks like we’re covering up a murder, Honey.”

  • LUNI_TUNZ says:

    Also, I love how this idiot is trashing around the apartment, yelling and screaming and daddy drops the phone, and he’s like “What was that noise?”

  • residentgrigo says:

    The is no budget to go around to adapt the bonkers and thus fun 2nd arc but it explains why anime Skyler White is cool with crime. Read the manga, as always with many adaptations.

  • residentgrigo says:

    I checked back with the manga. The Yakuza going into exposition mode on the open street is only in the anime. The way Walter White finds out about his daughter being singled out for extortion and death actually makes sense and all is told chronologically.

    This adaptation will be a mess, won´t it?

      Guess I’ll be checking out manga instead of continuing to watch this. Looks like it’s going to be another Hoshi no Samidare case where a great manga received a terrible adaptation.
